GeekRaver,
This tool rocks! I sat down to write something similar this weekend and it turns out you already did it. When I first picked this thing up I was really disappointed. The hardware is great, but the content bites. 8 1/2 x 11 PDFs are totally unreadable, the books on Sony Connect suck, and the RSS feeds are a joke.
Anyway thanks so much for writing this, I'll will be PayPal'n something. I was so impressed I contributed a bunch of RSS feeds for SF Bay Area content this weekend.
A couple of issues I ran into with release 20:
1. Consider putting in a check in feed name column to make sure there are no illegal filename characters. I got an error when I tried to put a colon in the Name since you use that when you create the output file.
2. The 'Days' field on the Customize feed dialog doesn't take '0' for a valid value like the "Number of Days" field does in the Options-->Sync tab. It would be nice if it did. To work around this I setup my feeds with a high days number like 30.
Thanks again,
Lou
